Adam Woodlee of Crane Axle talks about their Dana 80 Roller Axle Assemblies that they offer. Crane Axle’s heavy-duty Dana 80 Axle Assemblies start with a Brand New USA Made Dana 80 Axle Housing that is cast from high-strength nodular iron. They then machine press 4” x ½” (.500”) wall DOM Tubes into that housing for increased strength to resist bending & torsion. From there, the axles are assembled to the chosen specs. In this video, those specs are Magnum C's, Outer Knuckles, OE Spindles, and OE Wheel Hubs. This video shows a timelapse style video of an Assembly going together from raw housing to roller axle ready to ship to the customer.
Axle Assemblies are available from Crane Axle's website at craneaxle.com/default/product...

Personally had my rig worked on in Adams shop and he took the time to give me a tour and answer all my questions. Awesome guy and super knowledgeable. Just hard to get down to earth people and professional like this shop offers. I had a total crossmember failure on a new build from another shop in Vegas and Adam got me in on a rush and back on the trail in 2 days. Saved me a ton of money. Better prices then the other shop and i have HAMMERED on it since with no second thoughts about the work since Adam signed off on it. I can't say enough good things about them. If your into some serious offroad madness don't miss out on the opportunity for the best service prices and above all the toughest gear you'll ever rip! Hats off to you Adam! MadRam11 as always thanks for the content! Safe wheelin

[@peterbuilttough3406]

After making my own I can honestly say it's probably worth it to have them made. Not much cheaper. After figuring my time and parts. And definitely worth having them made it you don't have any necessary tools

[@atvdr]

That’s awesome buddy wish I could get in a shop like that.

[@stretchhfab7315]

That’s bad ass!!! Nice job

[@morraccuracy]

Where did the aluminum wheel hubs come from? I own a CNC machine shop and am always looking for new products to make.

[@farmyardfab]

Would this be any good for a medium duty service truck. I’d love to have a s1700 or 4700 international crew cab 4x4 service truck but it doesn’t seem like many or if any were made.

[@OddTimeMan]

I have a 2000 GMC 3500HD dually. It has a Dana 80 in the rear, and an I-beam axle with leaf springs in the front. I would love to convert it to 4WD some day. What's the best axle for the front, and how difficult would the conversion be?

[@adrenalinejunkie43]

Epic!!! 😍😍

[@RadDadisRad]

Dana 80 is my preferred axle. I’ve got a Dana 80 rear and a Dana 70 front in my my truck and I’ve yet to break it even when I beat on it.

[@Mike-xn1bh]

What vehicle do you have these axles on?

[@isaiaharroyo6222]

Not familiar with 2.5 outers but do you offer manual locking hubs?

[@rossbagley9015]

I want to convert a motorhome based on the Ford F-53 to 4x4 for snow and mild off-road use. Stock front axle goes up to 9k GAWR with typical loads close to 7k. Wheels are 19.5x6.75 with 10x225 bolt pattern around 170mm (6 11/16) hub bore. Critical dimensions are all safely bigger than Rockwell 2.5 ton dimensions and I'd very much like to keep stock wheels and tires. Dana 80 is 11k. 4"/0.5" tubing exceeds 11k. Rockwell 2.5 ton parts are 11k. I trust Crane and Ouverson knuckle and hubs to exceed. I guess I need an offset diagram to make more progress on this idea.

[@brandonpropterhoc]

if i were o just ge the axle housing that is from crane that is 1300, what all parts do i need to build myself my own axle? i am wanting to put dana 80's on my 1989 RamCharger.

[@curtiswalker5845]

Amazing

[@traileraxle]

awesome

[@walteryoung8774]

What's the website so I can see the full spec sheet for the front axle? Needing something to match up with a Dana S111 rear

[@nonope9191]

Wide open design

[@jamesrogers6376]

What pinion angle in relation to the castor angle?

[@batmikipig]

A Dana factory is 20min from my house 💪💪

[@stevenpleasant5834]

Hi real nice video and info would of liked to see more on how you turned the dom tube and more on pressing them in any way I would like to build a front steer axle with the center in the center bothe tubes the same on each side what would this cost to do. can you get new Dana 30 centers and do this.

[@MadRam11]

you need to contact @WideOpenDesign for more information

[@David-yy7lb]

I need that Dana 80 front axle under my 2008 duramax to replace that GM junk IFS

[@ThunderAppeal]

For sure. If you drive like an idiot youre definitely going to brake any CV joint.

[@Robert_Mann]

So...if you are able to get a new D80 center section from I don't know...Dana, then can you also get from them a Dana 70 HP housing that was used in the Kodiaks? I love me an 80 and all but there's just something even more badass about a high pinion 70 up front instead of a low pinion 80.

[@snowismas]

Currie has HP D70 fronts

[@ryanrich9186]

Is there a standard for housing width? Is it possible the lengthen the track width so that you can run larger tires? Forget the whole spacer crap, can the axle itself be a coue inches wider.

[@MadRam11]

They can make them wider.

[@ryanrich9186]

@@MadRam11 so I am assuming this is a some what uncommon modification because I can't seem to find much about it. I have been racking my brain on what to do to get a little more space to swing the big tires from lock to lock. It only makes sense to lengthen but I didn't want to run rockwells. So lengthening the housing, I assume I can order axle shafts that are longer as well?

[@calholli]

Is there a video about how the raw housings are made or manufactured? Are they cast? I'd love to see how they are made; I can't find any videos about it.

[@MadRam11]

Sorry I don't know of one.

[@osrr6422]

80 up front? Talk about BEEF. I'd say a front 14 Bolt would be up there as well.

[@user-zw1xd8io9p]

Многое в этом видео не показали!!! Где полуося шестерни бортовых сальники?

[@chesspiece81]

Could a set of these be built for a Hemi swapped Wrangler on 40" tires or would Pro Rock 60 and 80 be sufficient?

[@MadRam11]

yes they could be done very easily, give them a call and tell them I sent you!

[@chesspiece81]

@@MadRam11 Would I ever have an issue you think on 40s?

[@MadRam11]

Chesspiece no not at all. These axles are pretty much bomb proof. Especially for a Jeep.

[@chesspiece81]

@@MadRam11 I forgot to ask but how much stronger would they be than the Dana 60 and Dana 80 package that I believe Dynatrack makes? How much are these axles and would I need that extra strength? I won't be doing the antics you get up. By the way I appreciate your response and your videos are watches by almost everyone in Alabama.

[@chesspiece81]

@@MadRam11 I looked them up and compared them to other axles and while a little more expensive but so much more strong it's insane. I sent them a message. Thank you

[@OffroadHijinks]

Estimated weight of this setup???

[@MisfitRecords]

Heavy

[@nicholascooper1193]

less than a 2.5 ton Rockwell, more than a Dana 60...

[@randymagnum143]

An inverse function of ground clearance, lol!

[@husq2100]

all of it!

[@robormiston2841]

I heard a Dana 80 was 600 lbs from brake to brake. Can anyone conform that? How much are one of these bad boys.? I'd like to bolt on my 95 Geo Tracker to a set and toss in one of my Corvette motors or my 460.

[@Nic7320]

Can you put a Dana 80 into a Sprinter van?

[@MadRam11]

yes you could if you wanted to

[@Nic7320]

@@MadRam11 That would be a huge market. Lots of Sprinters need more GVWR. Let's work up a quote.

[@thomasmcquaig809]

Feel like y'all should have went alitte more in-depth on setting the knuckles on the tubes and what caster to pinion angle y'all try to stay around when setting them

[@MadRam11]

A lot of that depends on the rig they are going under

[@MisfitRecords]

Can you get steel wheel hubs instead of aluminium

[@adamwoodlee1928]

Yes you can. We also offer F450 Unit bearings for them as well.

[@jrschomaker4967]

This front axle accept a rockwell 2.5 ton u joint

[@estebahngman4152]

I need to buy one and put it in my silverado . You know the truth is the rear axel on these silvrados is a mess ! There out there racing them and blowing them out . clutches go first !

[@randymagnum143]

Are you talking about full floating 14 bolts?

My F350 dually has a Dana 80 rear axle.
